Evolution-data-server respawn

This may be a noob question...

Why does evolution-data-server sometimes respawn after it is killed (and sometimes not)?

I generally try to keep my number of running processes at a minimum (I average ~120 as it is). Part of doing so is to do an "evolution --force-shutdown" after closing evolution. About a quarter of the time it leaves evolution-data-server running. Killing it just causes it to respawn.

This isn't a big deal, but it is annoying.

Why is this not consistent? Aside from rebooting, how can it be killed without it respawning?

Are you running Gnome? EDS is used by the calendar widget (if configured) to show appt's.

Bingo.

Come to think of it I do pull down the calendar applet every once in a while. That would explain why I can sometimes kill eds and other times not.

Thanks.
